OT: Font suggestions for book?

[Scott Turner]

I have a fondness for Minion or Garamond. I think you can find a free font that is similar to these. However, the cost is relatively small, so purchase should be considered.

The advantage if Minion and Garamond is that they both have a relatively low height to width ratio, making them very readable. If you opt for a free font, look for that. Avoid Times, it's narrow, designed for newspaper columns.

The subject matter is primarily financial … it’s a book about the history of taxation. It’s not a scholarly work at all, but rather one designed to “wake up” American teens and young adults to some of the issues involved. Footnotes are used here and there, but more for explanation of background/details than in a traditional sense as references. The book will be published in a standard 6x9 format, paperback.
